I don’t mind much. It didn’t turn out like I hoped it too, and I expected it to do terrible. I was disappointed at first, but I understand 🙂

But I don’t think anybody should get 0 points. That could really lower someone’s self asteem, and they may quit brickfilming. Its not doing that to me, it just makes me want to try harder, but someone could feel that way.

If your film got a zero or another very low rating, keep in mind that with the way the system works, if entrants did not feel that your film was in the top five technically or in the quality of the story, it didn’t receive points; this doesn’t mean people didn’t like your film. It’s unfortunate that the scoring system works out the way it does, (such that there will inevitably be a lot of people who don’t receive any points) but I think Revmen’s suggestion is a good one, though it would draw out the process somewhat.

Say, if more people are in favor of doing this more often, how would a winter THAC sound? Maybe one over Christmas Break? I wouldn’t mind running a few more before I have to pass the baton on to someone else when I join the Army next summer. If we do do more, though, prize sponsorship would be really cool. My wallet isn’t exactly bursting at the seams.
